custom single PTE88, truck manafold, air to water turbo set up about 20% done ill probably never be done messing with this thing.
have alot to do, all has been custom fabbed by me, thanks to awsome parts at good prices from forced inductions, griffin, speed inc, and various used parts from board members.
after last fall i began tearing it apart for the new turbo set up, ran ito a problem of how it would cost about double, maybe triple of what i first thouhgt, so its been progressing slowly, still have to buy a water pump , tank and lines for the intercooler.
specs are 88mm turbo, truck headers, 2.5" primaries, 4" downpipe and still have the almost stock motor mounts(poly not solid), 3" inlet on A2W IC, 4" outlet to throttlebody.
going to be using 96lb injectors (low impedance) with mega squirt, but will probably keep my 42lbs and stock computer with HPT untill next year, to dail in what i have, and when i get time next year to install it.
cage will also have to wait untill next year. also using the stock T56, not sure on the clutch, i have my ram being tested at their factory to see if anythings wrong, if its ok, then ill prboably use that for a while as power levels wont be to high untill i change a few things like add my megasquirt, maybe add another fuel pump etc. just hoping for about 600rwhp, and alot later when i get it dialed in
going to be keeping ac, mouniting it on top, in the pics is my first attempt at a bracket for it, but am going to do something different, as i need a new compressor as the one i have now leaks, so i have to add it to the list of things to buy when i get money.
i need to add some more pics of the few things i have done but this is most of my progress.

i wanted the water side to be located on the other side, so i tried to work with it, but it might be 2" to big, gonna see if i can fit it in there by letting the fender bulge, but it it dont work ill have to sell it and do another one.
its designed to support over 1000rwhp.

Things are looking good. That downpipe looks like a sewer pipe. Where are you trying to relocate the AC too? Why didn't you try and stand the rad upright underneath the cross support like I've seen a few others do, to gain some clearence? It looks great! Once you dig into these cars with the bat. removed and that radiator stood upright...there is a fair amount of space to use.

I think I just answered my own question as I see you have a bracket there welded to the frame to support the turbo. You have a pic of just the bracket?

i have a bracket that can be bolted up, but i havent desided if im going to use it, those cast manafolds are stout pieces, so im not sure its needed.
it was made out of a exhaust strap.
i did stand my radiator up a little bit. but i just wanted it not so wide so i could duct the air from the fog light and have easy access with the filter, so the turbo has no problem getting air.
also i desigegned everything to be worked on easily, easy plug access, easy to get to everything, and fix or change anything if needed.
everything is alot easier to do then it was when it was stock

Yeah, I saw that after the fact though I think I just came up with a way to make a support, but I wouldn't know how to get it attached to the turbo itself. It looks really good. How are you gonna get the DP to the other side of the car? Considering the exhaust travels the length of the car on the drivers side right? Or am I out of it today for that?
Would you just run a piece of pipe like the y-pipe to that side of the car I guess?
